ON/OFF Switch A328-1500

The ON/OFF switch (part# A328-1500) is the power switch that turns the machine on and off — a shared Tacony part used on both the Riccar R20S and the Tornado Roam 97300 commercial uprights. As a genuine Tacony component, the A328-1500 is shared across Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity, CleanMax and Powr-Flite models — see the full Compatible Models list below.

On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C (and the Riccar R20S), the ON/OFF switch is the operator’s primary control, making and breaking power to the motor. A crisp, reliable switch with clean contacts is essential to starting the machine dependably and cutting power cleanly at the end of a job.

Replace the ON/OFF switch if it is cracked, sticking, intermittent, or no longer making solid contact, or if the machine is hard to start or will not shut off reliably. A worn switch causes flickering power, no-start conditions, or a machine that runs when it should be off. Renewing it restores dependable one-touch control.
